Pauline has been looking after our son for the last two years and I am happy to recommend her as a wonderful childminder. She consistently provides a safe, caring, and creative environment for our child. She has a natural ability to engage children in activities that are both fun and educational, and she provides daily updates/photos of our child which we love.
We’ve been impressed by the thoughtful and nurturing approach she brings to each day. It’s clear that Pauline genuinely cares about the children in her care, and we have always felt confident and reassured knowing our child is in good hands.
If you are looking for a childminder who truly goes above and beyond in fostering a caring, creative, and positive environment, we cannot recommend Pauline highly enough!

We were so lucky that Pauline had availability when we needed childcare! Our little boy Caleb had a fantastic year with her, with creative daily activities & excursions - I am sure this was a huge contributing factor to him becoming the inquisitive, outdoors loving little boy that he is! She was brilliant at communication & her playroom was spotless & a dream for little ones!

Pauline looked after our 2-year-old for several months while we were new to the area and settling in to our new jobs. She was genuinely amazing! She quickly established herself as an essential haven of security and consistency for our daughter during a very unsettled period. She helped her establish strong bonds with the other children through structured play, forest walks, messy play and personal development. She gave feedback every day at pickup and always made us feel completely confident about our daughter’s care. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Our first child so additional nerves when dropping him off for the first time but Pauline put us at ease immediately.
Albie loved every moment spent with Pauline and nothing was too much trouble. She went above and beyond in providing advise and tips when Albie would play up at home.
Creative, loving, caring, fun and a super safe pair of hands. We could not recommend Pauline highly enough.

Pauline has provided the best childminding service our family could have hoped for. She is always professional, caring, calm and kind. Having breast-feed and been inseparable with my daughter, it was such a big thing to return to work and trust someone else with her care. Pauline took away all that worry. She was brilliantly supportive and patient (with me!) and my daughter took to her instantly, they are the best of friends.
They spend their days playing, learning and going for walks. There is a keen focus on learning & development, but if my daughter is teething they have cuddles and read books – my daughters favourite things! Pauline always recognises what she needs and adapts accordingly with the most upmost of care.
She has a wealth of experience and always offers good advice, if asked.
Pauline keeps me constantly updated and I love seeing the real time pictures of what they are getting up to each day. Her clean playroom is a great setting for learning and having fun, and her house is near nice footpaths and forests to play in. I highly recommend Pauline as a fantastic childminder.

Pauline looked after our son 2 days a week while we were at work. He settled very well and was excited to spend time with her. Pauline was flexible with timings and worked with what we needed. Pauline did lots of arts and crafts with our son and he loved this. Thank you Pauline .

Pauline looked after our son from when he was 9 months until he was 3 years old, spanning across the pandemic and beyond. She was absolutely brilliant and she's now taking care of our 11 month old! Pauline worked with all of our requests- to use washable nappies, altering nap timings (even when I'm sure it was a bit of a pain really!) and has always been very flexible and thoughtful. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her and would absolutely recommend her to others.

Pauline has looked after our daughter Evie for the last two years and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first day Evie loved going to Pauline’s and just adores her! Her approach is second to none and from when we first met her and saw the setting at her house, we knew Evie was in very good hands! Great variety of play and learning, and daily forest walks meant Evie had just the best time every day and she made big friendships with her buddies. Pauline was also very flexible and accommodating if pick up times shifted a bit on occasions. We were very sad to say goodbye to Pauline at the end of the Summer but are just so grateful for her giving Evie just the best start into being looked after by someone other than us. We cannot recommend her more highly.

Was let down by another childminder with short notice and needed a few weeks support in the summer holidays before our son started school. Pauline was very accommodating and frankly the best childcare provider I have ever used.
I just wish we met her when our son first needed care!
When she says she has a great setting and location she is playing it down! Her set up is better than the nursery we used and shared between 2-3 children opposed to 20! I also love that every day, sun or rain they make time to spend walking in nature and being active.
I noticed a few other reviews deducted a start or two for communication. She was excellent updating at the end of every day what had happened, clear and concise with all we need to know. She did take longer than most to reply to texts etc; but I was glad she wasn’t glued to her phone responding every time I sent a message. It shows she was busy with the kids, not busy on her phone. So waiting an hour for a response was never an issue.
Thank you!

Pauline has been our son's nanny since he was 3,5 months old ; he's now 13 months and still goes to Pauline's every week day. She has been our Rock, has always been there to help us and we consider her a part of the family; Theo loves her, has developed incredibly fast and well thanks to all of the fun interactive activities Pauline does with him.
She is very positive, patient, and lively; she absolutely adores children and you can tell with everything she does with Theo. She is also very flexible and has helped us out soooooo many times keeping Theo later/earlier than planned! Pauline, Nathan and Zach are a great family and we are very grateful to have them taking care of our son everyday.
The playroom and outdoor activities are amazing( daily forest walks, playhouse outdoors, etc.) - Pauline even takes Theo to Noah's ark regularly! The playroom is always impeccable, very clean. Pauline communicates with us several times a day, sharing fun moments, photos and videos.. I have yet to meet someone who shares such a good experience with their childminder/nursery. Pauline really is amazing, we cannot recommend her enough!
